Product Description:

This script is designed to be used like a command to encrypt/decrypt files. It uses RC-4 (128-bit) encryption technology, which is the same as what most secure web sites use. Encrypted files have the .crypt suffix appended to the file name.

Crypt is free and very powerful. It uses open source (OpenSSL) technology and can be used to encrypt/decrypt as many files as you want in a single command.

What's new in this version:

All messages generated by the script now go to stderr.
Files are NOT deleted if the encryption/decryption fails.
Password is read from stdin.
Changed error message for "both -e and -d".
In manual encryption mode, encrypt EVEN IF ALREADY SO (since the user did specify FORCE on the command line).
Added quotes around $# for usage statement (only because it screwed up my happy syntax highlighting).
Changed all instances of "[ ! -s" to "[ ! -r", if the user wants to encrypt an empty file, that's their perogative.
Removed all TAB characters (replaced with 4 spaces).
Removed -n option for Password echo statements.
Updated packaging.

This little programme does exactly what I wanted, it makes sensitive data unreadable to others v.v., quick and simple. It does not do anything else, and that's fine.

Would like to try it but where is it? - Version: 1.1, 11/29/2004 08:04AM PST

The Sit archive contained a shred command (said is required) , and the crypt readme file. It's written: "USAGE="Usage: $CMDNAME [-d -e -r -s]" -CMDNAME? The only command there is shred -I wouldn't like to shred instead of crypting. So I went to the developer's site to try to understand... Isn't crypt missing?
